Cliffie with his beloved daughter, Linda, whom he adored and was so proud of! Linda was a dedicated school teacher who worked with young children for years at the Oralingua School for the Hearing Impaired in Whittier, CA. She was also in charge of their talent shows which Cliffie loved to participate in. It was so inspiring to see these youngsters overcome their fears and get up on stage and perform to the best of their abilities. Excerpts from the Dedication section of Cliffie’s book, “Everything…About Songwriting”: My wonderful daughter, Linda – who has always been there to support all my endeavors and whose enlightened poetry has only made the bond between us deeper.”
